The response from Charles Caldarale was dead on:
1) The name of the file containing the <Context> tag must be <app_name>.xml, not context.xml (context.xml is used when it's under the META-INF directory). 2) The path attribute is not allowed, unless the <Context> tag appears in server.xml, which is strongly discouraged. The path to the app is determined by the name of the .xml file containing the <Context> tag. 3) By having an entry in conf/Catalina/localhost that points to an application under the webapps directory, you run the risk of deploying the application twice. If your app is under webapps, then it's better to place the <Context> tag in a context.xml file under the app's META-INF directory. Use the alternate location only if the app is not under webapps. (This also makes the app easier to deploy across multiple systems, since the information is now packaged in the .war file.) I followed his instructions to the letter and it got rid of the warning and fatal error. What I didn't know was that if the context.xml file is in the conf/Catalina/localhost directory, it must be named webapp.xml, or in my case, SVOIC.xml, since my application is called SVOIC. However, if you put the context.xml file in the META-INF directory, it generates the webapp.xml (SVOIC.xml) in the conf/Catalina/localhost directory for you.
